There was a risk of having to go back to surgery if the oxygen level to the tissue dropped and we would be back to “square one”. Imagine my comfort, knowing that he was “there” even though he wasn’t! I am so grateful to those that make these miracles happen every day!

We have been using advanced technology for centuries, and despite the mistaken belief that we are luddites, we take up new technology that is useful very readily.
The real challenge is to get technologists, in particular IT folk to become more attuned to what good quality healthcare is. It is not just measiring variables to infinite accuracy for prolonged periods. Whilst that fills s called “big data” repositories there is no evidence that it provides any real benefit to the patient. Healthcare is about doing something, not just measuring. The measurements need to serve a purpose, and we need to concentrate on benefits for the patient.
Using technology for enhanced communications makes sense, and is a good use of technology, The barriers are not the doctors but the outmoded reimbursement systems that prevent doctors for being paid for delivering their services in new ways.
